For a Lie algebra representation of g on V, the semidirect product g⋉V is the vector space g⊕V with bracket
[(x,v),(y,w)]=([x,y],xw−yv).
(1)
The subspace V is an abelian ideal of a Lie algebra.

Semidirect product of a Lie algebra and a module
For a finite-dimensional representation ρ:g→gl(V),
Kg⋉V​((x,v),(y,w))=Kg​(x,y)+tr(ρ(x)ρ(y)).
(1)
In particular, V lies in the radical of the Killing form.
